Hey, I just thought I would share some of my video art. They are meant to be visuals going alongside Techno / House music in the nightclubs of Berlin. However I got a lot of ideas from reading up on physics, like diffraction patterns, fractals, polarization of light / materials, lenses, video feedback loops, and so on. I guess it might be interesting for some of you to see, the only editing involved is cutting out bits of unwanted footage.

The video is my "demo-reel" and is a total of 12 hours long (162 films), so I would recommend checking out my website where I show screenshots of each film (hover your mouse over or click on an image to see its file number). Once you find the clip you like, click on its corresponding timestamp in the youtube description.

Here are the screenshots of my films:

And here is the actual film:

Thanks, yeah those video feedback fractals were fun to make. Once things are balanced correctly, you just add (or subtract) light in a certain timing and then the whole video evolves on its own. So it kind of feels like it creates its own life, but usually things always end up in these specific fractal patterns.
